DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF i5-6500 3.2GHz 32GB DDR4 2TB HDD Windows 10 Pro desktop PC

OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor desktop is built for office environments that need a compact, quiet system. It ships with a genuine Windows 10 Pro licence and a clean installation free of bloatware. The 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor runs at 3.20 GHz with 6 MB of L3 cache. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port.

32 GB DDR4 memory and 2 TB SATA storage

Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory gives comfortable headroom for multitasking, browser-heavy workflows and typical line-of-business applications. The 2 TB SATA hard drive stores large document archives and local backups, though sustained read and write speeds are limited by the mechanical design. Users who need faster boot times or application launches would need to add a solid-state drive separately.

No VGA or DVI video outputs

This unit provides only DisplayPort and HDMI connections, so monitors with legacy VGA or DVI inputs require an active adapter or a replacement cable. The small form factor chassis also restricts internal expansion to low-profile cards and leaves no room for a dedicated graphics card. Buyers who need legacy video ports or a discrete GPU should choose a different form factor.
